I've followed Stefan's suggestion and hardcoded it to be on by default.
If later it is decided to make it customizable is just a matter of
adding a variable and a two-lines change to `where-is'.

Then I've followed Kai's suggestion and commited it ;)

In both the code before and after my patch, C-u C-h w does not insert
the exact same text that C-h w shows. Consider:

 C-h w hi-lock-face-buffer =>

  hi-lock-face-buffer is not on any key;
  and highlight-regexp is on C-x w h, <menu-bar> <edit> <hi-lock> <highlight-regexp>

 C-u C-h w hi-lock-face-buffer =>

  M-x hi-lock-face-buffer RET;
  and C-x w h, <menu-bar> <edit> <hi-lock> <highlight-regexp> (highlight-regexp)

The first format is more descriptive, so adding "and " seems more natural.
